He was out of shape. Ichigo wasn't really the one to admit to something like that either. He hadn't had to deal with a lot of running around in a very long time. He also hadn't predicted to deal with death basically the first day when he had arrived. It was a stark reminder that the majority of the clans didn't really change all that much when it came to conflicts with one another. The over-sized cougar didn't really have any intention of getting involved, but when lives were at risk? It didn't seem like he was given much of a choice, but he had always wanted to second side of the story. The wildcat had come across the corpses that had lined the territory of Sunhaven in shock and anger. The last time he had seen a corpse like that of sentient creatures was the corpse of his daughter that was taken away from him. Ichigo had nearly lost a portion of his sanity at that moment standing in the puddles of blood that had stained the earth. He should have been there to save them. That's what he had always told himself was that he was going to protect people. He was going to protect everyone. But that goal and motto had never really come true over the years that he had been alive. He didn't even know what the scent actually belonged to when he had arrived. It was slightly familiar, but he didn't know the name of the place either. He had been about to track down the scent when one of the members of Sunhaven had grabbed one of the corpses and went off on her own.

Ichigo didn't know what to think when he saw how corrupted her soul actually was and that she was basically dying from the inside out. The Shinigami had the knack when it came to anything spiritual, and with the strange fluid that had leaked out of her on the ground, he immediately knew that there was something wrong. He couldn't just let a random person go off in a random direction probably to die, as there had to be something that could at least be done to prevent their death. Ichigo had to deal with the scene at her absence, not even knowing the female's name or who she was to the clan either. That meant Ichigo was remotely left before as he tried to figure out the direction that the large canine had gone. This wasn't all that difficult as there was basically a trail, and to make sure that he caught up in time, Ichigo used his teleportation every couple of feet. His people didn't call it teleportation, but instead specifically called in Shunpo, but now wasn't the time for explanations. The swordsman was panting when he teleported at least 20ft away from where Marine and Agathe were standing. The Shinigami felt his paws land heavily on the ground, and when he appeared he realized that the place looked vaguely familiar. He wasn't the smartest and had a hard time remembering certain locations. It wasn't hard to hear the armor that spread across his body as it rattled as he trotted following the trail that was left behind. "I'm too old for this shit." Ichigo grumbled to himself before he came to a stop seeing the scene in front of him.

That was where the female went! Ichigo could hear the coughing from where he was now, and he came trotting up to the scene, obviously exhausted. He had been up for almost two days straight and his bi-colored eyes were filled with concern as he looked at Marine. "What are you doing here? You need to get back in your kind of condition. You don't need to be here." Ichigo said through clenched teeth, having a feeling that the larger animal would be stubborn when it came to coming back to where she obviously lived. It was at this moment that he realized they weren't alone, his head turning in Agathe's direction. He never got the female's name, but her aura was extremely familiar to him. The lights of her soul flickering in his eyes. "Oh. Its you again. Wait. The scents that were on these corpses is the same scent that's here..." Ichigo looked between the two females, the canine, and the snow leopard. Ichigo wasn't going to point fingers, but he himself had been upset about the seven corpses that were mangled and half eaten on the territory of where he was sheltering.

That didn't mean he was going to try and start something, the only reason he had followed was to try and bring the female that took a corpse back because she was obviously close to death. "Seven corpses were found. Seems like they have your scent on it." Ichigo stated the situation calmly before looking at the female that was probably going to be puking her guts out. If she passed out, there was no way he would be able to carry her. At the same time, he couldn't teleport all the way back to Sunhaven even. It was almost ironic that he still didn't know the name of the group that Agathe belonged to, or any of what was going on. A headache pulses on the side of his head as he stands only three feet away from Marina. "The hell is going on in these clans?" Ichigo muttered under his breath. He has never been thrown into a group that was stuck in the middle of a bloodshed. Everyone was on high alert and it seemed like there was something going on that he didn't know. He didn't even know that there was a war. All he knew was that there was a problem.

"Snowbound came and claimed the same thing. We have curphews set up, ma'am. If someone escaped from our observatory we would have known. We have to be framed right now." Onision meowed as he walked over, nodding his head in silent greeting before the smell of blood hit his nose. This made him flinch, his pupils narrowing, but he made no move to hurt the girl or body, merely tensing as he tried to relax. "Was there any fur left behind? Anything other than a scent? A scent can be replicated easily." Oni asked calmly, his single eye moving to Ichigo. He was sick of the fighting, he just wanted to move on from this.
